Yes.  But I STILL say -- Slothrop has gone transmarginal; ultraparadoxical -
beyond the zero.  A little sloppiness in poor Baby Tyrone's DEconditioning.
Responding to the *absence* of Imipolex G, projected backwards from its
inclusion in rocket 00000.  A causal reversal sorta like the soundless
arrival of the V-2.

All perfectly reasonable in Pointsman's world.

BTW Terrance, *was* Imipolex G invented in 1939?  Try following its trail on
GR250.
